Recipe for Goulash

halloweenqueen_2

Used frying steak - well it was a reduced bargain! This was a great recipe - lovely. I had a tomato cup a soup languishing in the cupboard so used that as the water part, compromise on not putting tomatoes in. I put a bit of basil in as well as the paprika and cayenne pepper, I had yellow and green pepper - norwich colours I suppose! - as they were a cheapy I didn't worry about the colour. Added some dumplings near the end and it was gorgeous - my compliments to the chef - many Thanks for the recipe! ;D ;D

I have mine in the slow cooker today - recipe on the back of a pack of atora suet

500g pork (i thought goulash HAD to be pork)
1 tin tomatoes including juice
1/2 pint chicken stock - but i put in a pint bcos i have it on all day from 8 am til teatime!
2 tbsp paprika
2tbsp plain flour
pinch of salt if needed

1 RED pepper
1 onion
1 large clove garlic

bung it all in, meat in cubes, veg chopped, mix the flour and paprika with a little stock to avoid lumps.
The recipe has it with caraway dumplings but i dont think thats too authentic unless anyone else knows different! Im not bothering with the dumplings.
I had hungarian au pairs a couple of years ago.
They would have had sour cream - they had that with most things, and probably potatoes. They taught me a few hungarian recipes and most of it is very simple, few ingredients, but VERY filling!Delia (grrr) has a recipe for sour cream i think, i got the method for yoghurt off her site. Dont get me started on Delia - has anyone here COSTED any of her recipes!!! She needs to try feeding a family on 30quid a week!
Enjoy the goulash everyone, i will report back on mine later!

delia is expensive, glad its not just me thought that. was going to say, but then thought i'd sound tight. :-[ not meaning you are or anything.

tight as a duck's a*rse underwater!
but as they say, it pays!!!
my goulash is cooking nicely, in fact the hungarians left some tiny pasta things here so i may put that in later

Forgive the question but does a duck relax a bit out of water or is it still tightly puckered ???

one of my dad's favourites, in fact I think 50% of what my parents said - and in the case of mum , still says - is in sayings such as this
Anyway, the goulash is tasty i followed the recipe i posted earlier and didnt add any salt, and it doesnt seem to need it.

nothing ventured nothing gained
